eligibility. Sixth month evaluations will be reported during the SEB.

6.3.1.1. (Added) OGV is responsible for all aspects of requisite written examinations, to

include production, administration, scoring, and records keeping.

6.3.1.1.1. (Added) All requisite exams will be administered by OGV personnel in the OGV

testing area during normal business hours. FS/CCV may administer requisite testing with OGV

approval. Approval for FS/CCV to administer requisite testing will be on a case by case basis.

Under no circumstances will FS/CCV receive approval to administer requisite testing without

meeting the requirements listed in para 3.2.1.4.

6.3.1.1.2. (Added) 31 OGV will maintain a deployment examination kit. FS/CCV may

administer requisite examinations while deployed. FS/CCV will sign out and return the

examination kit at the end of the deployment. FS/CCV will be responsible for examination

security while in possession of a deployed examination kit.


6.3.2. [31 FW] Testing via paper copies is authorized only if PEX is unavailable.

6.4.1.2.1.1. (Added) Open book questions will be derived from the T.O. 1F-16CM-1, F-16

1F-16CM-34-1-1, Avionics and Nonnuclear Weapons Delivery Flight Manual; AFI 11-202V3,

General Flight Rules with USAFE Supplement; AFI 11-214, Aircrew and Weapons Director

Procedures for Air Operations; AFI 11-2F-16V3, Aircrew Operational Procedures-F-16, with

31 FW Supplement (Local Chapter 8); 31 FW Pilot Aid; and 31 FW Standards.

6.4.2.2. [31 FW] OGV will develop and maintain a 31 FW local MQF consisting of questions

from AFI 11-2F-16V3 31 FW Supplement (Local Chapter 8), 31 FW Pilot Aid, and 31 FW

Standards. All MQFs will be reviewed annually.

6.4.2.2.1. [31 FW] Closed book question sources are the F-16CM ACC Master Question File

(MQF) and 31 FW local MQF.

6.4.3. [31 FW] OGV will utilize the Instrument QDB found on the PEX website for Instrument

testing. Only questions applicable to F-16 and compatible NAVAIDS will be included on test

administered to 31 FW pilots. In the event there is no QDB available on the PEX website, OGV

will generate test directly from the AFFSA Instrument Examination Test Bank.

6.4.4. [31 FW] OGV will review the Instrument, Closed book, Open book, SOF, FCF, and Low

Level examination questions annually or within 60 days after any revisions in source documents.

6.6. [31 FW] Exam Management 31 FW utilizes unique exams, created by PEX, for requisite

testing. The exception to this is for deployed testing. 31 OG/OGV maintains a deployed testing

kit for squadron use during a deployment to administer requisite testing. The deployed testing kit

will be updated prior to a known deployment or TDY where PEX will be unavailable and paper

tests will be required. This deployed testing kit utilizes prepared exams and adheres to the

requirements of paragraph 6.6.1.

6.9.1. [31 FW] Reexamination Policy. An “adequate study period” will be no less than 12 hours

from the conclusion of the fail exam or the beginning of the next duty day, whichever occurs

first.

6.9.2.1. (Added) Examinees who fail a requisite examination will be placed on supervised

status (Reference Attachment 19) until successful retesting occurs. If unique electronic testing is

not used, the retest must occur with the alternate version of a prepared requisite examination.

6.9.5.1. (Added) OGV will maintain and provide to FS/CCV a “Failed Requisite Examination

Letter”, documenting dates/scores of failed requisite examinations and their successful re-

accomplishment. FS/CCV will ensure the examinee is placed on a supervised status. OGV will

track failed examinations and retests electronically (via PEX). FS/CCV will forward failed

examination info to OGV (i.e. when deployed) as soon as possible in the instance of a failed

requisite examination.

6.10.4. [31 FW] OGV will develop and CCVs will administer semi-annual tests. PEX is the

primary means of administering semi-annual testing. Hard copy testing is permissible in the

event PEX is not available. The tests should be administered near Jun and Dec, but timing may

vary depending on HHQ inspections and other inspections with testing requirements that qualify.

This program should evaluate a cross section of previously reported trends, general and tactical

knowledge, and may be administered open or closed book. Squadrons will ensure all examinees


are debriefed on any incorrect answers, and failed exams are corrected to 100% (missed

questions will be documented for trend data). If the exam is administered via hard copy, CCVs

will forward trends from these tests to OGV. Semi-annual testing trends will be reported at the

SEB. Semi-annual testing will be documented via AF Form 1522, and tracked via ARMS.

FS/CCV will ensure all pilots (assigned and attached) take the semiannual test.

6.10.5. (Added) CAPs examination will be accomplished monthly. Pilots will successfully

complete a CAPs written exam prior to the first flight of the month.

7.1.2. [31 FW] When electronically signing Form 8s, digital (i.e. use of a CAC signature) is

preferable over electronic (i.e. //SIGNED/initials//); however all are valid. Although not

required, every effort should be made to use only one signature format on each individual Form

8 for consistency.

7.3.2.7. (Added) SEFEs will document flight evaluation completion on a 31 OG/OGV flight

evaluation worksheet, 31 OG/OGV Emergency Procedures Evaluation Worksheet, and on a 31

OG/OGV TEMP FORM 8. FS/CCV will use the SEFE completed worksheet and 31 OG/OGV

TEMP FORM 8 to complete the official AF Form 8 utilizing PEX, and post the Temp Form 8

and accompanying worksheets above the section II cover sheet of the members FEF.

7.3.7.6. [31 FW] OGV and 31 OG/CC will review all officer AF Form 8s and document this

review on the reverse side of the AF Form 8 after the Form 8 has been routed and signed by the

examinee. OGV and 31 OG/CC will review the Form 8 prior to complete routing if the examinee

is no longer on station or if the Approving Officer is above 31 OG/CC. Only the initials will be

required for the additional reviewers.

7.3.8.6.1.1. (Added) Upon completion of the evaluation (flight and all requisites), FS/CCV

will file the completed 31 OG/OGV TEMP FORM 8 in the examinee's FEF along with the flight

and emergency procedures evaluation worksheets pending actual AF Form 8 posting. FS/CCV

must ensure the 31 OG/OGV Temp Form 8 is complete and adheres to all requirements of

paragraph 7.3.8 of this instruction prior to posting into members FEF.

7.3.8.7. (Added) FS/CCV will prepare and maintain all AF Forms 8 IAW AFI 11-202V2 and

USAFE Supplement. Reference 31 FW Flight Evaluation Folder (FEF) Guide for examples and

routing.

7.8.1.2.1. (Added) FS/CCV will maintain FEFs on all assigned and attached squadron pilots.

Pilots who receive an evaluation at home station from the other squadron because their own

squadron is deployed will have their AF Form 8s processed by the FS/CCV at home station.

7.8.1.2.2. (Added) When one of the squadrons is deployed for more than 6 weeks, the

squadron at home station will physically maintain all 31 FW FEFs. In addition, the FS/CCV at

home station will be responsible for processing all AF Forms 8 (with inputs as required from the

TDY FS/CCV).

7.8.1.2.3. (Added) Wing leadership flies with both fighter squadrons on a rotating basis. Their

FEFs will be maintained, and evaluations tracked and processed by the squadron to which they

are attached to for flying. When wing leadership rotates, their FEFs will follow them. HHQ

personnel and other attached flyers’ FEFs will be maintained by the CCV of their assigned

squadron.


7.8.5.1.4. (Added) FS/CCV will complete and route Attachment 18 along with all newly

assigned pilots’ FEFs to the agencies specified in the Attachment 18. CCV will initiate and

record an Initial Review on the USAFE Form 136 prior to routing for reviews.

8.2.1.1. (Added) Administration of the Flight Surgeon program is established at the CCV

level, with oversight by OGV during supplementary evaluations. Flight Surgeons will

accomplish an online, open book examination at https://afms.csd.disa.mil. Flight surgeons will

provide CCV and FS SARMs with their examination certificate. SARMs will update ARMs and

validate successful completion of all other required Go/No-Go items and currencies prior to

flying. CCV will maintain examination certificates for their assigned Flight Surgeons.

result of changes.

9.1.5.1.2. (Added) The required publications will be maintained as directed by OGV on the

FCIF Publication Library Index. OGV retains responsibility for the SOF and UTD TO accounts.

FS/CCVs determine additional content to be added to the deployable publications library.

9.1.5.1.2.3. (Added) OGV will provide squadron CCVs with a CD-ROM containing the most

current version of the FCIF Publication Library. This disk will be placed in Volume I, Part A

with the FCIF Publication Library index.

9.1.5.1.2.5. (Added) OGV will specify the publication format, hard copy or electronic,

required to be maintained in the FCIF Publications Library on the FCIF Publications Library

index in Volume I, Part A of the Publication Library.

9.1.5.1.4. (Added) Pilots will only be required to maintain GE-100 engine related data in their

LETTER OF CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE

A11.3.2. (Added) Squadron Letter of Xs will be produced and maintained by FS/DOT.

A11.3.2.1.2.1. (Added) After SQ/CC (or SQ/DO in SQ/CC absence) signs the Master Letter of

Xs, SQ/DOT will finalize the electronic document to prevent further changes from being made.

In order to finalize the Letter of Xs, SQ/DOT will add the phrase "FOR REFERENCE ONLY"

and send an Adobe® .pdf copy of the document to OGV. OGV will post the document on

SharePoint. ® SQ/DOT will not distribute the Excel® file of the Letter of Xs. Any copies of the

signed Letter of Xs will be annotated with the phrase “FOR REFERENCE ONLY.” The intent

is for there to be only one Master Letter of Xs per squadron.

A11.3.2.1.3.1. (Added) After being finalized, the Master Letter of Xs (the signed original) will

be posted at the SQ Ops Desk. Pen & Ink updates can be made to the Master Letter of Xs by the

SQ/CC or SQ/DO IAW para A11.3.3. (Added - USAFE).

A11.4.1. (Added) The Letter of Xs will reflect the new certification level (If a SQ/CC

decertifies a Flight Lead down to wingman, the Letter of Xs will indicate that pilots new

certification level of wingman).

A11.5.1. (Added) When SQ/DOT replaces the Master Letter of Xs at the Ops Desk, the

previous months Master will be archived IAW paragraph A11.5. The intent is to archive the

document that may have been updated via pen & ink rather than archiving a document that was

only current as of the signature date. The method of archival is at the discretion of the squadron.

REAR COCKPIT EVALUATIONS

A15.1. RCP evaluations will be flown as a SPOT Evaluation and will be conducted IAW the

Rear Cockpit (RCP) Landing Qualification syllabus in Attachment 14 and AFI 11-202V2, AFI

11-2F-16V2 and associated supplements. Evaluations may be accomplished as a dedicated sortie

or during any mission with the examinee in the rear cockpit (an observe ride or sandbagging any

mission as long as training requirements are not diminished). An FE will occupy the front seat.

IAW paragraph 4.3.3.1. the 31 OG/CC waives the requirement for the FE to be current and

qualified in RCP landings. The FE will be current and qualified in landing.

A15.2. In order to maintain RCP qualifications, IPs will accomplish the RCP qualification as a

requisite for their INSTM/QUAL evaluation.

A15.3. The SPOT evaluation is a “flight phase” sortie and may influence the period evaluation

expiration date. For example, if the SPOT evaluation is flown after the INST/QUAL evaluation

flight, the expiration date of qualification will be based off the SPOT.

A15.4. The examinee will be given an FE coordination brief prior to flying the evaluation.

A15.5. If a SPOT evaluation is given as part of a requalification evaluation, the expiration date

of the SPOT Form 8 will be aligned with that of the current INST/QUAL evaluation.



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES EVALUATION PROGRAM

A16.1. Purpose: The purpose of the Emergency Procedures Evaluation (EPE) program is to

evaluate emergencies, procedures, and tactical situations that cannot be safely evaluated in flight.

EPEs should be tailored to the examinee’s training and experience level. The purpose of the

EPE profiles in the 31 OG Viper Evaluation Guide is to provide SEFEs with a standardized

guide to administer EPEs. Profiles in the 31 OG Viper Evaluation Guide are intended to be used

as a guide and do not preclude SEFEs from administering alternate profiles.

A16.2. Reference: EPEs will be administered IAW AFI 11-202V2, USAFE and 31 FW

Supplements, AFI 11-2F-16V2, and the 31 OG Viper Evaluation Guide.

A16.3. Medium: The Unit Training Device (UTD) is the preferred medium for EPEs. EPEs

may be administered tabletop (verbal evaluation) if the UTD is not available. Squadron SEFEs

will be the primary evaluators for all EPEs. 31 OGV SEFEs may augment either squadron and

will normally give all rechecks. The general knowledge evaluation portion is not usually given

in conjunction with the flight evaluation and will be performed as part of the EPE.

A16.4. Requirements: All EPEs will include requirements listed in AFI 11-2F-16V2, and AFI

11-202V2 and USAFE Sup I.

A16.5. Grading: EPEs will be graded and recorded IAW AFI 11-202V2, USAFE and 31 OG

supplements, and AFI 11-2F-16V2. 31 OG/OGV Emergency Procedures Evaluation Worksheet,

should be used to assist in grading and evaluating the EPE. Examinees receiving an overall

unqualified grade (3) will not be permitted to fly until a successful recheck is accomplished.

SEFEs will complete the additional training letter (Attachment 19) if required, and will indicate

on the 31 OG/OGV Emergency Procedures Evaluation Worksheet if the additional training must

be completed prior to the flight evaluation.

A16.6. Profiles: EPE profiles are provided in the 31 OG Viper Evaluation Guide to aid and

standardize EPEs for the wing. The MSN EPE will involve a combat oriented scenario. Mission

materials for MSN EPE profiles are located at the UTD. NATO MSN EPE profiles should be

administered along with NATO MSN evaluations if a compatible simulator is available

(reference Attachment 17 for NATO MSN requirements). NATO specific Pre-MSN EPEs and

MEPEs should be annotated on the schedule to ensure the examinee is given the opportunity to

prepare for the evaluation (eg: PMEPE/N, MEPE/N). Pilots must be fully qualified (INT

complete) to be evaluated in this mission. Attached pilots and temporarily decertified pilots (“R”

on letter of Xs), may still be evaluated. Only fully qualified (INT complete) SEFEs may

administer a NATO MSN EPE



FLIGHT EVALUATION MANAGEMENT

A17.1. Scheduling: It is desirable for mission evaluations to be scheduled as 4-ships when

possible (CAS and NATO are the two exceptions) with the examinee flying in his most qualified

position. SEFEs will not administer more than one INSTM/QUAL evaluation on a single sortie.

Squadron CCV will monitor the scheduling process to ensure examinees are provided adequate

mission planning and debrief time. Strange field approach requests should be included on the

PVG two days prior to flight.

A17.2. Checkride Documentation Folder: CCVs will maintain a checkride folder to collect and

maintain requisite documents during the evaluation process. When the flight evaluation is

complete, the SEFE will fill in the flight evaluation information, sign, and date the 31 OG/OGV

Temp Form 8. When applicable, upon completion of the evaluation, CCVs will complete and

sign the AF Form 1522, and turn it in to the SARMs.

A17.3. Evaluation Administration: Examinees should contact the SEFE at least one day prior to

establish the exact requirements and profile. Instructors who are receiving recurring evaluations

will be evaluated on their ability to instruct in at least one area. This area will be the

instructional topic and will be emphasized throughout the flight. It is highly desirable for

instructors to instruct an actual upgrade ride (MQT) for the evaluation. Instructors receiving an

INSTM/QUAL evaluation will instruct on an INSTM/QUAL flying-related topic. The

remainder of the INSTM/QUAL mission may be briefed and flown as a CT type flight.

Examinees will fly in their most qualified position. Pit-and-Go evaluations should be completed

prior to the hot-pits, if all requirements were observed. However, both flights may be evaluated

at SEFE discretion. Pit-and-Go evaluations will be annotated as one sortie on the AF Form 8.

Fight-Tank-Fight evaluations should be completed after landing.

A17.4. INSTM/QUAL Evaluations: Evaluations for instrument/qualification will be flown as a

combined evaluation. INSTM/QUAL profiles will include as a minimum those areas defined by

AFI 11-2F-16V2, and should include at least one approach at a field other than home station

(preferably non-US), if possible. There are currently no DoD published PAR approaches in the

local area and will not be required due to lack of facilities. Document a failure to accomplish a

PAR on the AF Form 8 under "Additional Comments". The evaluation will be flown on a

tactical/RAP sortie when possible.

A17.5. MSN Evaluations: Pilots arriving who are not MR will receive an initial MSN

evaluation, which should be an air-to-surface PGM profile. All MSN checks should be

scheduled as "scenario-based missions" (i.e. SAT, CAS, DCA, etc). Suggested evaluation

profiles can be found in the 31 OG Viper Evaluation Guide.

A17.5.1. Air-to-Air Evaluations: Air-to-Air evaluations will include as a minimum those areas

defined by AFI 11-2F-16V2. Normally air-to-air mission evaluations should be scheduled as

DCA. For all profiles, the examinee will fly as an F-16, using F-16 weaponry and will not

execute bandit tactics. To call an Air-to-Air MSN check complete, an examinee must

successfully execute an air-to-air tactic and employ ordnance on a hostile aircraft.

A17.5.2. Air-to-Surface Evaluations: Air-to-Surface evaluations will include as a minimum

those areas defined by AFI 11-2F-16V2. If weapons employment evaluation is required IAW


AFI 11-2F-16V2, and air-to-surface weapons cannot be employed (either simulated or actual),

the evaluation is incomplete. Pilots and SEFEs should determine which target/profile they will be

fragged against. The flight examiner will then provide the examinee additional information to

aid mission planning.

A17.5.3. NATO MSN profiles: When NATO profiles are flown, both the MEPE and flight

should be NATO mission specific. Pilots must be fully qualified (INT complete) to be evaluated

in this mission. Attached pilots and temporarily decertified pilots (“R” on letter of Xs), may still

be evaluated. Only fully qualified (INT complete) SEFEs may administer a NATO MSN

evaluation. NATO missions should be flown using single-ship tactics with the SEFE in a chase

aircraft or in the rear seat of a D-model. NATO profiles may be administered no-notice.

A17.6. Instructor Evaluations: Pilots who are not previous F-16 instructor pilots require an

initial INSTR evaluation. Initial INSTR evaluations should be conducted by the OG/CC, FS/CC,

FS/DO, or an OGV SEFE. Initial instructor evaluations can be flown on any profile but should

be flown on an actual upgrade sortie when possible. Evaluation will be flown according to AFI

11-2F-16V1, 31 FW Supplement, and the 31 FW syllabus. These missions will be flown

primarily on MQT sorties with the instructor upgrade briefing and leading the flight. While no

specific evaluation requirements exist for INSTR evaluations, instructional ability will be

evaluated throughout the mission.

A17.7. An examinee’s SQ/CC, DO, and flight commander will be debriefed for any Q-2 or Q-3

evaluations and/or if the SEFE intervenes due to breaches in flight safety.

A17.8. Every attempt should be made to accomplish required areas during the actual flight. Six

month evaluation completion should be limited to flight evaluation “clean up items.” A verbal

examination is acceptable only if a reasonable number of attempts are accomplished to evaluate

required areas during actual flight.
